Hi Kev,
Not far away from you - Billingham.
Hopefully will be able to meet up sometime this year when I get my hybrid on the road. Looking forward to meeting up with some other members of NERDOC when I'm on the road.
Nigel

cheers mellow,fingers crossed on the on the valves not been worn out then,as at the moment it sounds like the exhaust is blowing wnen its running and its throwing oil out too and on close inspection i noticed part of the castle seal had blown out(between the two cylinders).so this looks like its going to be fun n games then

welcome m8,i've found plasti-cote bbq paint to be really good or another good'un is pj1 or sperex engine enamel,depends what finish you want,the bbq and pj1 are more satin and the sperex is gloss.

cheers bubba,god knows what il find as ive just removed the head and it was stuck down with silicone,the valve was'nt lined up rightand i've just noticed its got home made power valve bush retainers in,made out of tin haha,and the valves are slack as fxxk.never mind i'l manage.it'l fxxking fly when this goes back together,tally hoe lads im going in.haha  right i've got one barrel off and the power valve out and i think the inner bush is goosed like, the valve rattles about in it there is a lot of play, would the wear be in the bush or the valve. and also whats the best way to clean the valves up,would solvol autosol be any good, ps bubba yeah i'l be at the nerdoc rally its moved to the bishop auckland rugby club now on the same weekend.thanks lads kev

right i got the top end rebuilt after getting some bushes made in the tool room at work,started it up and it sounded so crisp and ticked over lovely,i warmed the engine up then let it cool then i retorqued the head 20lb.wow then i took her out for a spin fxxking wow,what a difference,i did keep the speed down just to let things settle and kept an eye on the temp gauge,it went to half way then dropped a little,after about a 50mile ride i opened it up a little,then i found the expansion bottle had filled its self full of water and was starting to come out of the bottle,you dont think the head gasket blown do you as its a new gasket kit.but if you keep the revs down abit its ok,what grade plugs should it have in as mines got 9's in,are they not to hot,cheers kev ps ive tried to put some pics on but i cannot get photo bucket to work |
